Orlando City vs Charlotte FC Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2025

The Lions are unbeaten in ten matches.

Orlando City are set to take on Charlotte FC in round 13 of the MLS 2025 season. This clash is set to take place at Inter & Co Stadium. The home side will be aiming to keep their unbeaten streak alive here. 

Orlando City, after a slow start, have returned to their brilliant best. They are unbeaten in their last ten matches, which has seen them move to eighth position. In this span, they have registered four wins, six draws and lost twice. One thing which they need to improve is to start winning matches rather than drawing them. 

Charlotte FC, on the other hand, after a good start, have faded in the last couple of matches. They have accumulated 19 points so far courtesy of six wins, one draw and five losses. They have also lost their last three matches in a row, which showcases the form they are in.
